14x7 5x4.5in 3.75in BS Black

The 14x7 5x4.5in 3.75in BS Black wheel by Bassett is purpose-built for vintage and custom automotive applications where lightweight construction and classic fitment are non-negotiable. Designed for enthusiasts restoring or modifying street rods, muscle cars, and classic trucks, this steel wheel delivers the narrow profile and authentic styling that traditionalists demand. At 17.95 lbs per wheel, it represents a significant weight savings compared to modern cast aluminum alternatives, translating directly to improved acceleration, braking response, and fuel economy in lightweight vehicles.

The 14-inch diameter and 7-inch width establish this wheel in the true mini-light class favored by hot rodders seeking authentic proportions on downsized platforms. The 5x4.5-inch bolt pattern (5 on 4.5) accommodates classic American vehicles including early Chevrolets, Fords, and Mopars, while the 3.75-inch backspace (BS) positions the wheel at a classic inboard stance that clears modern brake upgrades without requiring spacers. The satin black finish resists corrosion and complements both vintage and modern custom paint schemes, and the steel construction proves superior to cast offerings when running aggressive suspension geometry or frequent track use.

This Bassett wheel is ideal for restorers building vehicles under 2,500 lbs or experienced fabricators executing weight-reduction programs where every pound counts. Compatibility extends to 1950s–1970s Chevrolet small-blocks, early Broncos, Volkswagen-based buggies, and any project car using a 5-lug 4.5-inch pattern. Installation requires standard lug nuts (not supplied) and torque to manufacturer specifications; verify clearance with your specific suspension and brake package before ordering, as the inboard backspace may require adjusted wheel spacers on some modern suspension applications.
